I screenshotted Erikana's post (without her permission π) for a few reasons:
Reason 1: What a stunning picture, stunning smile, cute as puppy, beautiful athlete
Reason 2: 1.45 is π₯π₯π₯for the Auckland Half Marathon with the Harbour Bridge hitting you at 16 kms into the race as you're getting tired and hot. Yes, you cross the Harbour Bridge and although it's not super steep, its an incline that just goes on forever and ever IYKYK
Reason 3: She is wearing our socks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy and proud. I gave her a pack at Fire5, so it's thrilling to see her wearing them, out of all the socks I am sure she has.
I always run in my SHOOTS - I can't run in cotton anymore. They are not marketed at runners and it would be confusing if I started going on about how amazing they are to run in, but they are.
They keep my feet cool. I don't get blisters. They don't smell. They have enough padding and all round just great to run in during the off season, or if you're a netballer who also loves running.
Love this pic. And congrats on a superb time, Erikana.
